Volunteers, Staff & Leadership

There is no paid director and no head office - just neighbours who give their evenings, weekends and summers to North Queens history.

The Kitchen-Table Society

Most of the Society's work happens around the table in the Heritage House: sorting donations, answering letters, planning the next BBQ.

The board is elected each spring at the Annual General Meeting. Committees take on the day-to-day work, and each summer one or two students join us to open the house to visitors and help with the archive.

If you have an hour a month or a day a week, there is a place for you here.
